The Best Protocol to Health: Move. Hunt. Eat. Recover. Sleep.
At CrossFit Full Armor, we believe health doesn’t have to be complicated. When you look at the big picture, the best protocol to health is rooted in the natural rhythms of life—activity, effort, nourishment, recovery, and rest. These are the pillars that create resilience in both body and mind.
1. Activity (Move Daily)
Your body was designed to move. Whether it’s light play, walking, or dynamic movement, daily activity keeps your joints healthy, blood flowing, and metabolism firing. Think of it as greasing the gears—without it, everything starts to slow down and break down.
2. Hunt (Your Hard Workout)
Every day doesn’t need to be intense, but regularly pushing yourself hard is vital for growth. The “hunt” represents your tough workout—the session where you train strength, endurance, and grit. It’s where you build the capacity to handle challenges inside and outside the gym.
3. Eat (Fuel with Purpose)
Food isn’t just calories—it’s fuel and recovery. The right balance of protein, carbs, and fats helps your body repair, rebuild, and thrive. Prioritize whole foods, eat with intention, and remember that nutrition is the foundation of performance and health.
4. Static Stretch (Recover the Body)
Too often overlooked, static stretching after training is one of the simplest ways to speed up recovery, maintain mobility, and prevent injury. This is your chance to slow down, reset, and prepare your body for the next effort.
5. Sleep (The Ultimate Recovery Tool)
Sleep is where everything comes together. Hormones reset, muscles repair, the brain processes, and the immune system strengthens. Without quality rest, everything else suffers. Aim to make sleep a non-negotiable priority in your health protocol.
The Full Armor Way
When you put it all together—move, hunt, eat, recover, and sleep—you have a simple, sustainable protocol for complete health. It’s not about hacks or shortcuts; it’s about consistency in the fundamentals. That’s how you build strength, resilience, and armor for life.
